Fuel tank
The fuel tank filler neck is located on the left rear fender near the wheel.
Fuel level indicator
On basic models of the car, the fuel gauge is located on the right side of the instrument cluster, and on the other models - on the left side. The gauge is turned on after turning the ignition key to position II. The scale of the instrument is graduated in increments of 1/4 of the tank capacity (full tank, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 tank and almost empty). When the pointer of the gauge enters the orange sector of the scale, there are approximately 6 liters of fuel left in the tank.
Carburetor
Do not change the factory settings. Checking the percentage of CO ₂ in the exhaust gases and adjusting the idle mode should be performed by specialists for the first time after the first 2500 km of run, then every 10,000 km of run, but not less than once a year. At the same time, the tightness of the system should be checked.
Adjusting the idle speed
Adjustment work on the carburetor should be performed after every 30,000 km of mileage and only by specialists.
If the engine stalls when returning to idle mode, it is permitted to temporarily (until it is possible to contact specialists) increase the engine crankshaft speed in idle mode by adjusting the mixture quantity adjustment screw accordingly.
ATTENTION: Access to the mixture quality adjustment screw is closed by a special plastic plug, which must not be removed independently.
Air filter
The paper filter element is replaced every 40,000 km or more often if the vehicle is operated in areas with increased dustiness.
